Sewing came to a halt with a new school year but in the October holidays I managed to get back in it. The charlotte skirt pattern by Hand London was a great pattern to get back me into sewing. It fits perfectly and the instructions were so simple to follow.

I needed to cut a few inches off the length and maybe need a little more just to make it easier to move in. I’m not used to pencil skirts but I love the shape they create. I now need to think of what tops to wear with it I’m guessing some fine knits or a plain sorbetto top might work.

The next project is another sorbetto in a black floral print which I cut out last night. I’ve setup a sewing area in the dining room to make it easier to sew in the evenings and still be around for the puppy!

My third dress is complete! A summer sewing has been great fun. I have 3 dresses I love thanks to Colette patterns. These two dresses are Hazel dresses. A simple, strappy, summer dress that is easy to dress up with heels or down with a denim jacket.
